WILLOW

The Raleigh Willow is the latest addition to our classic bike collection, inspired by the grace and beauty of nature and the great outdoors. Informed by over 130 years of British bike design and influenced by our heritage ranges, the Willow affords classy, timeless style and a high quality finish.

The Willow's aluminium frame is light-weight, making the bike easy to manoeuvre and the carefully considered frame design has a relaxed geometry coupled with swept back handlebars to support a comfortable upright riding position. This riding style enables you to be more aware of your surroundings so you can enjoy riding your new bike safely and with confidence. The lightweight aluminium seat post also has a special feature which allows you to adjust your saddle slightly forwards or backwards to find the perfect comfort riding position tailored to you.

When it comes to a classic bike we know it's all about the accessories, and that's why we only chose the best. A ladies comfort sprung saddle has been fitted to the bike in a classic tan colour which perfectly matches the soft handlebar grips. The Willow's Moss Green frame colour has been extended to a range of additional features including the pannier rack, mudguards, chain cover and wheel rims and also features a propstand. The traditional wicker style basket and classic 'ding-dong' bell really are the finishing touches.

The 7 speed Shimano Revoshift gears are simple to use with an easy 'twist' shifter and Tektro brakes provide safe stopping power. A steering limiter has been added to the bike to provide supported steering whilst you're riding and ensure that when your bike is resting on its propstand the front wheel doesn't tip to one side unexpectedly. The bike cables have been routed inside the frame to reduce maintenance, help avoid trapped clothing incidents and achieve a clean 'cable free' look. Additionally all of the Willow's graphics have been carefully sealed under a clear, protective lacquer to keep your bike pristine no matter where your travels take you.

Complimentary cream coloured tyres provide an added element of sophistication in addition to their added functionality. The tyres are wider than standard with an increased volume which results in a cushioning effect and provides a smoother, more comfortable ride. Plus these tyres feature a puncture protective layer to reduce maintenance needs and a tread pattern suitable for roads, paths and light trails. The Willow is the ideal companion for your weekend adventures.
